IE8 Redirect to Virus Scan

Running W7 32 bit with IE8, sometimes when I go to Yahoo and click to close
IE8 it redirects to a virus scanner web page all by itself. How can I fix
it? I did a full scan with MS Essentials and no virus was detected. What to
do? I copied the scanner site URL last time and it is:

http://188.124.5.147/index.php?affid=91102

NEVER post possibly dangerous, clickable links in a public newsgroup or
forum!

Can I install MSE to clean up my already-infected computer?
